Question
State the formula for calculating length if:
Number of vernier scale division coinciding with the main scale and number of division of main scale on the left-hand side of zero of vernier scale is known.

Solution
If we know the number of vernier scale divisions (V.S.D.) coinciding with the main scale and a number of main scale divisions (M.S.D.) on the left-hand side of zero of vernier scale then Length recorded = Main scale reading + L.C. × V.S.D.

A micrometre screw gauge having a positive zero error of 5 divisions is used to measure diameter of a wire, when reading on the main scale is 3rd division and the 48th circular scale division coincides with baseline. If the micrometer has 10 divisions to a centimetre on the main scale and 100 divisions on a circular scale, calculate
